Post loads to comments.

The reps are increased to give the beginner more exposure to the mechanics of the back squat. Go to CrossFit.com and click on exercise and demos. Search for back squat to review the points of performance before the work out. Warm-up using a PVC pipe, followed by an empty barbell and slowly increase loads until the load feels heavy for a set of five. Start the working sets here. Only increase loads if mechanics are maintained, paying close attention to maintaining a neutral spine. Log the loads lifted to use this as a benchmark for future workouts.
